We were invited to dine at Bulawayo's first Pop Up Restaurant on Friday night.
Temporary eateries set in intriguing places offer the best new way to eat and that's exactly what a Pop Up Restaurant is!!

Pop-up restaurants are mini-restaurants that temporarily operate in parks, plazas, galleries, warehouses, event centers and larger restaurants. Pop-up restaurateurs and their followers use blogs, Twitter and other social networks to inform people about the pop-ups. Some announce dining events just hours before they take place, and they often sell out.

Like food trucks, pop-up restaurants allow restaurateurs and chefs to hone their skills or test new food ideas. The concepts particularly appeal to new chefs or operators because they can take advantage of underused spaces and kitchens to introduce concepts without great expense.
Many pop-ups begin as ways to offer food and flavors unavailable in a locality. As they attract devoted fans, they create 'underground' dining communities.
Well we went 'underground' at a beautiful stable yard close to the city centre, and had an absolute ball.

Whatever Claire turns her hand to is a success, this lady has the most unbelievable energy and zest for life!!

With the sun setting in the west and a full moon rising in the east, we were treated to natural marvels as decor, for this Pop Up Restaurant, plus lush green grass, horses grazing contentedly a stones throw away, birds entertaining us in wonderful chorus, and then the beautiful voice of Ann Wawn took over and the Drums of Peace played solidly and rhythmically in the background.

Champers and snacks were served as the guests arrived, and then, when delicious prawns, baby potatoes and excellent salads were served, we were liberally feted with fine wines.

The weather was absolutely perfect, as it can only be on a Bulawayo April evening, and we tottered home much later, hoping that we might be invited to the next Pop Up Restaurant hosted by a most enterprising couple in the City of Kings!!

UNIVERSITY OF BOTSWANA
FACULTY OF HUMANITIES
INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RESEARCH PROJECT ENTITLED: 'ARCHIVING WHITE COMMUNITY HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS IN POST COLONIAL ZIMBABWE'

Dear WHITE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS.
We are conducting interviews as part of a research study to establish the context of storage and preservation, the extent of Historical Manuscripts(HM), the formats or nature of HM, and to propose a management framework that will ensure the preservation of the above, and save them from further decay and degradation given that they are endangered. As White Community Associations you are in an ideal position to give us valuable first-hand information from your own perspectives and experiences.
The interview will take around 45 minutes and is very informal. We are trying to capture your thoughts and perspectives on the archiving of white community memories in post-colonial Zimbabwe. Your responses will be kept confidential. Each interview will be assigned a number code to help ensure that personal identifiers are not revealed during analysis and write up of findings. Participation in this research is completely voluntary and you may choose to withdraw from the research at any time or not answer questions that you do not feel comfortable answering.
If you are willing to participate please suggest a day and time that suits you and I will do my best to be available. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank You

ARABESQUE
Thursday 5 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'Arabesque' was released exactly fifty years ago on 5 May 1966 and was described by Michael Halliwell as 'the ultimate in sixties spy kaleidoscopes'. While visiting Oxford University, David Pollock (Gregory Peck), an American hieroglyphics professor, is called on to decode a secret message whose contents are of vital importance to several warring factions from the Middle East. Pollock soon finds himself in the middle of an assassination plot and on the run, accompanied by Yasmin Azir (Sophia Loren), the mysterious mistress of an Arab tycoon.

CHAPLIN - A BALLET
Friday 6 May in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
The little guy with his moustache, his bowler hat and his cane is world-famous. But who is the man behind this figure Mario Schröder wondered the same thing when choreographing 'Chaplin', a colourful and magnificent dance production from the Opera Leipzig. Schröder employs two dancers to represent Chaplin throughout the work: the tall and lanky Tyler Galster portrays Chaplin the person, while a female dancer portrays the Little Tramp, with all the motions and gestures we're familiar with from Chaplin's
movies.
'It incorporates a blend of classical ballet and modern dance movements with a sprinkling of other styles to add spice, such as break dancing. The choreography and dancing are energetic and impressive... This is beautifully and tastefully done and is great for all audiences'. [Amazon.com review]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

Ken Nortje

The Chief Scout, Commissioners, Scout Leaders and Scouts of the Scout Association of Zimbabwe, are sad to announce the passing of Leader Trainer Ken Nortje on Thursday 14 April 2016. We offer our condolences to his niece Doreen and husband Bob, nephews Shaun and Ken and his family.

Ken, who would have celebrated his 90th birthday in October, joined the Scout movement as a Wolf Cub (Cub Scout) and continued through the ranks of Scout, Senior Scout and Rover Scout. For many years he was an Assistant Scout Leader and Scout Leader in the 2nd Salisbury Scout Troop (2nd Borrowdale). He was directly responsible for the training of many of the Senior Scouts in his Troop in their gaining the highest Scouting award a Scout under the age of eighteen can aspire to, namely the Queen's Scout Award. Ken and his Senior Scout Troop where actively involved in the development of Ruwa Scout Park, approximately twenty kilometres from the city of Harare on the Mutare highway. Their lasting contribution in the Park, being the construction of the altar in the Park's Chapel, with granny Lillian Scamell embroidering the altar cloths.

Among his Scouting expeditions he participated in, was his Troop's climb of Kilimanjaro, numerous Scout expeditions to the Okavango Swamps, hikes in the Chimanimani Mountains and Matopos, South African National Patrol Leader Training camps, and American Camporees including one National American Jamboree. In his late seventies, he moved form Harare to Mutare where he continued with the training of Scout Leaders in that city until fairly recently. He joined with the 1st Bulawayo (Pioneer) Scout Troop in his last climb in the Chimanimani mountains at the age of seventy-nine, completing the grueling three day hike carrying his own rucksack and sleeping on the ground under the stars.

As a Scout Leader, Ken attained his Scout Wood Badge, followed later by his Assistant Leader Trainer third bead and finally his Leader Trainer fourth bead, thus becoming a member of the Mashonaland Leader Training Team. Whilst still actively involved in the uniformed section of the movement, he was elected on to the National Scout Council, where he held the position of National Treasurer for many years.

In recognition for his devoted services to the Scout Movement, Ken was awarded The Medal of Merit, The Silver Eagle and The Golden Lion; Zimbabwean Scoutings highest award

His other interests were; scuba diving, he gained his light aircraft pilot license, a lover of nature and was a keen yachtsman, who will be remembered for his contribution at a number of annual Sailing Schools on Lake MciLwaine (Chivero).

Ken was deeply religious, being a server and later sub deacon in his parish church in Marandellas (Marondera) a town where he was involved in Carolina farm, growing and canning fruit.

Ken was without doubt, the longest actively serving member of the Scout Association of Zimbabwe. We, salute Ken's valuable contribution to Scouting and mourn his loss, now that he has " GONE HOME"
Sorry to hear of the passing of Moorie Dunlop. Have tried for ages to find out where he was. Such a good dancer
and golfer. Rest in Peace.

Violette Sohaili Kee-tui

We're excited to announce that John Eppel's latest novel, Traffickings, published last year by The Ink Sword in South Africa, is now available locally.

Another carefully-crafted literary gem by Eppel, perhaps one of the most renowned and respected satirical authors in the country, Traffickings is set in contemporary Zimbabwe and tells the story of Bruce and Dick, a dastardly duo who manage to convert one of the most notorious places of correction in the country into a tourist attraction, with both hilarious and horrifying results.

As is Eppel's distinctive style, Traffickings unapologetically examines man's greed, cruelty and self-righteousness in a voice at times shocking, at times funny but always honest.

Please contact Violette on Facebook above. Copies are $15 each and as there are
only a limited number of copies available locally, hurry and get your orders in while stocks last.

INVITATION TO WHITE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN A STUDY ENTITLED 'ARCHIVING WHITE COMMUNITY HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS IN POST COLONIAL ZIMBABWE'; A STUDY BY SAMUEL CHABIKWA PhD CANDIDATE UNIVERSITY OF BOTSWANA

Displaced and endangered memories of a minority, (Historical Manuscripts of the White Community in Zimbabwe) is central to the research problem.
Documentation and archival memory affects many of the central concepts of society's governance, functioning, identity, 'memory' and stability. Records and archives support and strengthen important elements of society's infrastructure, culture and operations. They contribute to accountability, transparency, multiculturalism, diversity, and social justice (Jimerson, 2005).
However, in the case of Zimbabwe, documentation and archival memory are contested territory, because of the 'silences' and 'absences' of minorities and the underrepresented in mainstream archives.

Zimbabwean archival memory is selective and the voices of the socio-political and economic elites abound in the archive at the expense of other voices. Furthermore, in the case of the National Archives of Zimbabwe, public sector records and archives predominate. Minorities and the underrepresented are evident by their 'absences' and 'silences.'

In post colonial Zimbabwe, the white community is a racial and numerical minority, as categorized by Schaefer (1993), constituting less than 5% of the total population. Mainstream archival activities have marginalized their documentation in the post colonial dispensation. Collection Development Policy, Appraisal strategies and the Oral History Programme, have been utilized to fill the gaps in the archive, by focusing on documenting the black majority absent from the Colonial archive.

The registry model (Ngulube, 2012) that NAZ, subscribes to has ensured that government activities and its records and archives predominate the post colonial archive in Zimbabwe. The challenge to these efforts has been that it has tended to focus on documenting socio-political and economic elites from the black majority, whilst marginalizing minorities and the underrepresented from the black majority (Ngulube, 2012; Murambiwa et. al., 2012; and Manungo, 2012) including whites as a racial and ethnic grouping.

The above has created a scenario where HM of the white community abound within and outside of Zimbabwe. The HM are housed and managed by varied repositories, organizations, families and individuals in undetermined conditions and locations. Their extent, format, and content are unknown, and most are yet to be adequately identified and described. Their location and preservation conditions are unknown, and their users are also unknown and for what purposes are they consulted, as such this endangers this mutually shared cultural heritage to decay and neglect and a resultant loss to Zimbabwe. Resultantly, too they have been withdrawn from circulation and denying society and the wider scholarly community access to them.

The study, therefore, acts as an intervention strategy to establish the context of storage and preservation, the extent of HM, the formats or nature of HM, and the contents of the HM, and to propose a management framework that will ensure the preservation of the above, and save them from further decay and degradation given that they are endangered. This will bequeath a wealth of information and knowledge to both the heirs of the White community, and to Zimbabweans at large. On the other hand it will bring the HM into the wider scholarly community in terms of circulation.

A curatorial strategy proposed by the study is essential for guaranteeing that we address the 'silences' and 'absences' of the voices of the white community in post colonial Zimbabwe, given that these have potential and actual value, for cultural preservation, the reconstruction of the past, administration and as part of the collective societal memory, covering socio-economic, political and technological issues.

This study affirms the call of justice as advocated for by Jimerson (2005), when he argued that the prevailing relations of power and influence in societies(even in democracies) tends to disadvantage certain voices. The call of justice implies two imperatives, firstly to proactively enable participation and access, and secondly to construct the archive beyond the normative assumptions circumscribed by power and the status quo. In this context the justice potential of the HM must be identified and sustained (fought) for, destroying, neglecting and hiding the HM of the white community because we have gaps to fill about the black community is an injustice.

The HM of the white community is a powerful resource for restorative justice and critical for the shaping of contemporary Zimbabwean memory and the understanding of Zimbabwe as a society. A study to identify the nature, format, extent, location and preservation conditions of the HM of the white community in post colonial Zimbabwe, is not only restorative justice, but creating a more accurate version of the past of which (information) contained in the HM can assist Zimbabwe, to shape and connect with contemporary and future struggles for social justice and equity, accountability, governance, functioning, memory, stability, transparency, multiculturalism, and diversity.

The agenda for this study is to clarify the management and preservation of Historical Manuscripts of the White community in post colonial Zimbabwe and to propose a management framework for the archiving of the memories of minorities and the underrepresented. This would guarantee that voices of the underrepresented which are endangered memories are safeguarded from decay and disappearance from the collective memory, addressing the issues of alienation, domination and disempowerment of minorities and the underrepresented in Zimbabwe.

THE IDEAL PLACE FOR A WEDDING OR CONFERENCES
FOR N.G.O.S IN THE BINGA AREA

A little paradise on the shores of Lake Kariba.
Beautiful shady campsites virtually on the edge of the lake. Our camp sites have been re-vamped and have rolling green lawns, plenty of shady trees and water on tap. First class ablution and laundry facilities. We also have a very large lapa and a sparkling infinity pool.

This house is very nice, set in a lush garden in a very conveniently situated location, just round the corner from Girls College.

It has 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms,(one is en suite with a walk in dressing room and separate entrance) a combined siting room /dining room, a lovely big kitchen with two walk in pantries and a separate scullery. It is walled with an electric gate, it has a solar geyser and a triple carport. It's a lovely, warm house with beautiful teak floors and pressed metal ceilings. It has an excellent borehole.

It makes a lovely family home but, because of it's location and lay out, would also make an excellent office or doctor's surgery.

The rent is $600 per month, plus rates, water and electricity (it has a meter). The tenants would also have to pay half the gardener's wage and he would work in their garden. He could also clean the house if desired.
